MAGNETIC ULTRASONIC DISINTEGRATOR OF WATER- MODERATED POWER REACTOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: magnetic ultrasonic treatment of primary circulating water in water-moderated reactor. SUBSTANCE: disintegrator designed to separate tritium-containing water from primary water and to produce on its basis commercial tritium water in tritium breeders for integrated agroindustrial enterprises dealing with recovery of farming wastes has housing with inlet and outlet pipe connections and perforated rotor engageable with housing perforations through annular duct. Rotor is disk- shaped component made of magnetically productive material communicating through its holes with those of plate in slotted helium admission pipe. End surface of rotor disk is engageable through its blades with holes of perforated ring which communicates through its holes and annular duct with space isolated from inlet and outlet pipe connections. Mentioned space communicates through pipe connection with common and tritium-containing water mixture collector and is joined through hydraulic seal with rectifying column; the latter is provided with transverse perforated partitions that form sections intercommunicating through overflow pipes. Bottom section has heat-transfer apparatus and communicates with tritium breeder feeder collector. Steam line of rectifying-column top section communicates with reflux condenser whose reflux line communicates through hydraulic seal with rectifying column and common water excess line, with disintegrator housing pipe connection. The latter is connected via bypass relative to main circulating pump of VVER reactor and separator. EFFECT: facilitated tritium and tritium-containing water separation process compared with known facilities. 2 dwg
